The renewable energy sector promises continued growth for the foreseeable future, reaching $7 trillion of expected cumulative global private-sector investment between 2012 and 2030. Despite some short-term challenges, growth is expected in each renewable energy subsector, including wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, hydropower, and renewable fuels – albeit at different rates. To better position U.S. exporters of these technologies for success in international markets, the U.S. Government launched the ambitious Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Export Initiative (RE4I) in December 2010. This Renewable Energy Top Markets Report is an important commitment of the RE4I. Intended to provide high-level information regarding key potential export markets for American companies, it provides a tool to steer exporters towards those markets where they may be most effective.

This Top Markets report is provided as a resource for U.S. exporters by the International Trade Administration.
